Part 2 - Jamila Russell thanks the WTJX family for their coverage of the 2023 St. Thomas Carnival Parade, enjoyed at home by many. Speaking of enjoyment, Howard Forbes, the Virgin Islands Marine Advisor Services director, calls in to discuss the upcoming Youth Ocean Explorers (YOE) Summer Program. The 4-week, hands-on marine science program is available for middle to high-school-aged students interested in exploring the oceans. At the end of the program, students can earn their open water scuba certification from the Coki Dive Center and Cane Bay Dive Shop from certified Professional Divers Association Instructors (PADI). Forbes hopes that the program will help to further the students' love for the ocean!
